Hello there Brian, I noticed most of the interviewers ask this question. Is it good if I'll start saying where I graduated then tell my achievement in education, then followed by my experiences and achievement at work? And another thing is it right to tell some of your qualities like you're a good team player, etc. Please help. Thank you

- as discussed in this video (and other videos), start off with a quick summary, then offer to give examples to back it up. So in answer to your question, yes, cover your education and experience, including your achievements, then offer to give some examples. Always give the interviewer an opportunity to break in with a new question at the end of each example (by using a pause or even asking: "Would you like another example?").

Hi Brian, I really dont understand what's with "tell me about yourself" question. I mean, why all hiring managers start with this 'going nowhere' question, instead of detail, direct question? They're looking for people with good communication skills, but isn't in communication process you should understand what the question really mean, and ask for more details? So, is it okay if I just ask back to hiring manager "what would you like to know?" with smile + polite manner? Thanks Brian for answer

- it's not a good question for a practiced behavioral interviewer, but it ends up being a standby question that interviewers can ask, then branch off into new areas. It's open-ended, so interviewers often use it as a way to get the interview started. I'm not saying it's right or good, it's just a common question used by many. That said, don't answer with "What would you like to know?" Give a brief answer about your background per the job, THEN ask if they want more details.

@hgsnk333 LOL...i did the same thing at my first professional interview...total flop!! And whats even worse is that I could tell from the interviewers expression that I wasn't doing too well...especially when I answered that question. lol. Oh well...life is a learning curve!
